Conceived during Chow’s five week long residency at the Mitchell Gallery\, We Do Chicken Right is a performance reading that draws inspiration from personal stories and realizations based on the meals shared and dialogue exchanged with families from diasporic communities.

SUMMARY:Date Night - Taiko Drumming
DESCRIPTION:University of Alberta Botanic Garden \nAdmission until 8:30 pm; Garden open until dusk. \nTwo hearts beat louder than one! Take a mini Taiko drumming workshop in the gorgeous setting of the Kurimoto Japanese Garden\, led by Booming Tree Taiko. \nAdvance registration is recommended to ensure your spot in the workshop.\nRegular admission applies.\nPasses and coupons are eligible for this event. \nRegistration starts April 15\, 2018. \nDATE NIGHT FAQs:  \nDo we have to participate in the activity\, or can we just come and enjoy the Garden on Date Night Thursdays? The choice is yours. If you prefer to design your own evening\, without participating in any activities\, that’s just fine. The Garden Bar will be open\, serving wine and beer. You can bring your own picnic (no BBQs or alcohol\, please) purchase a light meal at the outdoor Patio Café\, and breathe in the quiet tranquility of the Garden in the twilight. Simply pay admission at the Gate\, and enjoy your evening! \nWhat about the food? The outdoor Patio Cafe offers light casual fare and is open late on Date Nights. You can enjoy your meal at the Patio Cafe\, or take it to where the Date Night activities are being held in the Garden. A “Garden Bar” will be available near Date Night activities on most nights\, with an assortment of beer\, wine\, non-alcoholic beverages and snacks available for purchase. Or\, if you prefer\, you can bring in your own picnic to enjoy in the Garden (no alcohol\, please). \nWhat happens if it rains? Being outside is the best\, but for most Date Nights\, activities can be moved under shelter in our Pine Pavilion if the weather is rainy. However\, in the event of extreme weather\, some activities may be delayed or cancelled. \nHow much does it cost? Unless otherwise stated\, most Date Night activities are free with regular admission to the Garden. Food and beverage are extra. Garden Season Pass Holders and Friends of the Garden get free admission to Date Night; some extra charges may apply for specific activities. Passes and coupons are eligible for this event. \nCan you get me a date? Sorry\, that part’s up to you. But don’t worry – we see groups of friends\, families\, singles (and romantic couples\, of course) come out on Date Night to enjoy the Garden and the fun. You can come with your darling\, your book club\, or your mom – it’s all good! \nFor information email uabg.events@ualberta.ca or call 780-492-3138.
